You can pass the output file to a filter to concatenate the data to a single line if necessary. One possibility would look be to create an awk script such as the printfil.awk I've attached to this message. You can then pipe your sflist output to awk with this filter such as: cat sflist.fil | awk -f printfil.awk > sflist.xls You could do other things such as making the data comma delineated or whatever format you chose, but always is more flexible to do this outside of a program such as sflist and use tools like awk as needed.
